Painting progress.

Underpainting.

After having to abandon my painting for 6 weeks while I was working, I’m finally back at it.

Since I finished my last large painting I’ve been making these little sketch paintings the last few days. This is a snapshot of our waitress from last week that I thought had an interesting look. Not sure she found me asking to take her picture so interesting but she was a good sport about it, we all had a laugh.

Bistro My Way, Dec 2016, Oil on Canvas, 140cm x 100cm

The past couple of weeks while I am in between large paintings I’ve been doing some random faces.

Almost finished with my new painting. I still haven’t decided on a name yet but it’s oil on canvas, 140cm x 100cm.

Thought I'd get a photo before I varnished this. It's somewhat easier to photograph when it's not so shiny but I like when the colors pop a bit and the sheen is even. Gods and Rabbits, oil on canvas 2016. 80 cm x 120 cm.

As a scenic artist, I would put paper on my work space to keep the table clean and switch out the paper every week or 2 depending on how messy it got. After a while I really hated throwing out the paper because it sometimes looked so interesting. At one point I started putting down scraps of muslin over the paper and doing little drawings in the slop paint. I kept a few of these and called them my Slop Paintings, most of them are from 1992-1994.
